Description
After waking up in the Kalahari surrounded by lions and narrowly avoiding a fast-moving bushfire, the crew pack up camp and begin the long mission toward Maun.
Rough tracks, heat, dust… and then another massive bushfire on the horizon.
A quick lunch stop turns into something far bigger when a local farmer approaches the team for help. His property is under threat — and the boys jump straight back into the flames to coordinate a back-burn operation to save his paddock.
As the smoke clears and the sun drops, the crew finally get the moment they’ve been waiting for… their first elephants of the trip, appearing out of the dusk in the most unreal way possible.
A huge push into the night and they roll into Maun — dirty, exhausted, and buzzing.
